A BIG fan of Minecraft, always wanted to make my own small world by my hands :) ....And I doing nothing. To be a game dev you need the MOST important stuff - motivation, be interested in PROCESS of making, not in RESULTS. Do not expect early results and you will not burnout. Keep in mind that every line of code makes you better developer and just move on, step by step.

I don't know why the antivirus deleted your download it should be just a text file so nothing to worry about. If you have very little experience you can't start a big project but the idea is once you gather some experience start a projecr and add stuff into it untill it becomes big. Yoi can probably find tricks for big projects in the handmade hero series but the thing is making big projects is simply a challenge so untill you try you won't learn much. Yes opengl can be overwelming and also setting up c++ libraries so this is why my recomandation is to starr with a library and use a tutorial to walk you through the setup. Once you have a window up and running and you can display graphics you can start making your own stuff. If you are a beginner and still don't know what to do try to fallow a complete tutorial for making a game and then try to implement something simple like tic tac toe and than move to harder challenges. I hope it helps.

I've worked with Unity for 6 years. The biggest thing is bloat. Unity's strength is cross-platform, it can run on anything. Unity's weakness is bloat for sure due to Unity creating this humongous cache folder named 'Library'. It's absolutely obnoxious and enough to actually leave the engine entirely. The reason to use C++ is that you can keep size low, which is a bigger deal than you think, when down the road you're looking at needing to spend big bucks on SSD's and wait hours and hours for your large files to backup, and sometimes even up to an hour waiting for loading bars in Unity to finish. It feels like I'm working back in the 2000s with Pentium 3 and Athlon processors again. You also feel like...well...you DO completely OWN what you created. With Unity you have to sign in to an account and pay for a subscription, so even if you create something significant with it, what if you end up down on your luck and can't afford their subscription anymore. Or, what if Unity Technologies just decides to up their subscription fee, or change their license agreement like YT does? Third, it states in Unity's license that you can't create an easy games maker of any kind, which is why I'm trying to migrate away from it at the moment. I wanted to take the 3D game I made and turn the toolset I developed into a very easy indie games maker and then sell that, welp, gotta switch languages to do so and learn some 3D math. With your code running from scratch in C++, you can be at ease that you own completely your code base, no subscriptions required, in a language that is the industry standard of the gaming industry even today.

Learning something simpler first can help you expand the harder APIs next. Vulkan is verbose and setting it up requires much more from the user than OpenGL.

I started with OpenGL and DX11 then have moved into DX12 and some Vulkan now. These work well in single and multi-threaded systems but VK/DX12 basically require multi-threading and more advance programming skills that can ward off beginners.
